WHEN I FALL IN LOVE / TIME FIVE / タイム ファイブ ベスト・コレクション / TIME FIVE Best Collection

A compilation of arranged covers by jazz chorus group Time Five.

"In the afternoon of September 21st, 1986, Time Five, a Japanese male vocal quintet, presented a triumphant performance before an audience of more than seven thousand at the Monterey Jazz Festival. It was the first Japanese vocal group, ever to perform at that prestigious annual jazz event held in that Californian town.
Time Five was first organized in 1968 by five schoolmates just after graduation from Doshisha University in Kyoto. They were Y. Tai, lead vocals percussion, S. Noguchi, 2nd vocals & electric bass, S. Teshigahara, 3rd vocals & trombone, H. Yoshimura, 4th vocals & keyboard and K. Sugie, 5th vocals & flute. They had the ambition of becoming a top-notch vocal group like the Four Freshmen or the Hi Lo's of the United States. In the eighteen years since their inception, they have developed into the most swinging and musically polished male vocal group in Japan and have been recognized as an internationally applicable unit.
This CD album contains seventeen selections recorded over the past four years and includes "Lazy River" and "When I Fall In Love", both of which were performed at Monterey and were rewarded with a long standing ovation by the listening crowd. Time Five cordially presents this album with special thanks to Mens. Jimmy Lyons, Bill Lutt and all who helped their appearance at the Montrery Jazz Festival in 1986."
